The Chili Cook Off returns to the Holiday Inn at Rockside March 20, 2025 from 6 to 9 p.m. Your support of this event will help us to provide resources and programming for children, teens and adults with Autism and their families.

Every year, thousands of families will begin a lifelong journey with Autism. This event helps provide services to the children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Money raised is used locally in Northeast Ohio area to help support, educate, and raise Autism awareness. This past summer, with money raised from the Chili Cook-Off, ASGC purchased adaptive playground equipment for children with Autism and other disabilities. ASGC will also contribute some of the proceeds from the Chili Cook-Off to S.T.A.R Summer Camp. S.T.A.R Camp is a private, non‐profit organization that provides an inclusive camp for students with disabilities and typical peers. S.T.A.R. Camp’s goal is for individuals with disabilities and typical peers to participate in recreational, academic, and social activities in an inclusive environment. Last year S.T.A.R Camp had over 240 participants, ages 3 to adult.

Historically, the ASGC Chili Cook-Off has drawn over 1,000 participants. There are 40 professional and amateur chefs, local celebrity judges, and media coverage. This year’s event promises to be more exciting with great food, entertainment, and prizes! Tickets to the Cook-Off are $30 per person in advance and $35 at the door and can be purchased online at ASGC.org. The Autism Society of Greater Cleveland is one of the over 100 affiliates nationwide that is dedicated to increasing awareness about Autism and the day-to-day challenges faced by people with Autism, their
families, and the professionals with whom they interact.
